You know what I miss? Jaffa Cakes
YES! Loved those things. When I was with friends in Scotland, we bought some while on one of our little day trips, and we won a stuffed animal (whatever the thing was that came to steal the orangey goodness, I forget the name). Except we couldn't really win it becuase you had to have a UK mailing address! Mean!
And I can find Pims that are very similar, but are just not the same (and are like, $4 a box, so...).
Supposedly there's a British Store in northern Virginia, somewhere near where I used to live, but I never did find it...
All cats are British.
Except the ones who are French.
I thought all cats were French.(well, at least according to Jon Carroll
they are.) They understand English when it suits them to...
Are actual pie-flavoured chips now available in Oz?
This is a bit belated and I can’t believe I’m gonna de-lurk over something as inauspicious as Smiths and their strange taste-experiments, but yes, the pie-flavoured chips do exist (or they do in my obscure Canberra-esque corner at least). The ads have been strangely persistent about it - they don’t really explain why we needed pie-chips, but there you go, ;).
Two, two great snack ideas in one?
Leigh! G'day! Stay delurked! Smiths Crisps are as good a reason as any.
Actually there's one company--I think it may also be Smith's--which has been advertising ham and cheese (?) flavoured chips. In the advert a bloke walks into a milk bar and asks for "one ham and cheese", so the milk bar lady cuts a packet of chips in half a la a sandwich.
What's a milk bar?
I think the next UnAmerican thread should be named something regarding foods from around the world.
Milk chocolate, I think Jess, but I'm not sure.
You still have Milk Bars? The only one I know of is on Brighton Beach - it was a '90s a bone of contention, because The Kids want to open it as a club/bar/artspace, while The Man refused permission.
